pWotD Episode 3362: The Odyssey (2026 film) Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 614,398 views on Thursday, 16 July 2026 our article of the day is The Odyssey (2026 film).The Odyssey is a 2026 epic fantasy action film written and directed by Christopher Nolan. An adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek epic the Odyssey, the film stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, the Greek king of Ithaca, and chronicles his long and perilous journey home after the Trojan War and his encounters with mythical beings as he attempts to reunite with his wife, Penelope, portrayed by Anne Hathaway. The ensemble cast includes Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Samantha Morton, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron. Nolan and his wife Emma Thomas produced the film through their production company, Syncopy.Nolan began writing The Odyssey in March 2024, secured the project with Universal Pictures by October, and the film was announced in December. Casting occurred from late 2024 through early 2025, and Damon was confirmed for the lead role in February 2025. Nolan studied several translations of the Odyssey. He depicted a realistic interpretation of Greek mythology, drawing inspiration from the epic historical films Andrei Rublev (1966) and Ran (1985), as well as the films of special effects artist Ray Harryhausen. Filming took place from February to August 2025 in Morocco, Greece, Italy, Scotland, Iceland, Western Sahara, and Malta, as well as at the Universal Studios Lot in Los Angeles. With an estimated budget of $250 million, the film is among the most expensive of Nolan's career, and the first to be shot entirely on IMAX's 70 mm film cameras. Leading up to the film's release, the costume and production designs, accents, dialogue, and casting choices sparked critical discussion and scrutiny regarding historical accuracy to the source material and the setting depicted.The Odyssey premiered on July 6, 2026, at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London, ahead of a theatrical release by Universal Pictures on July 17 in the United States and the United Kingdom. It was made available in IMAX and multiple premium large formats. The film received critical acclaim, with praise for Nolan's direction.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 07:13 UTC on Friday, 17 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see The Odyssey (2026 film) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Tiffany.

C'est sans doute l'un des films les plus attendus de l'année : L'Odyssée débarque ce mercredi 15 juillet sur les écrans français. Porté par une pléiade de stars américaines, Matt Damon en tête dans le rôle d'Ulysse (mais aussi Zendaya, Tom Holland ou encore Charlize Theron), cette adaptation de grande ampleur est signée du Britannique Christopher Nolan. Le réalisateur oscarisé d'Oppenheimer et de la trilogie Batman The Dark Knight revisite cette épopée mythologique avec les codes du blockbuster.  RFI : L'Odyssée est un poème grec d'Homère écrit il y a plus de 2 700 ans. Qu'est-ce qui vous fascine autant dans ce récit et en quoi est-ce qu'il nous parle encore au XXIe siècle ? Christopher Nolan : Je pense que lorsque l'on étudie L'Odyssée d'Homère, on y trouve des vérités universelles et intemporelles. Cette œuvre fondamentale de la littérature est à l'origine de toute la culture occidentale. Ce poème a fasciné génération après génération pendant près de 3 000 ans parce qu'il est simple et possède ces qualités accessibles et intemporelles de la nature humaine. Nos préoccupations humaines n'ont pas tellement changé. En l'adaptant, je me suis rendu compte qu'il y avait des thèmes et des modèles de narration qui faisaient écho à mes précédents films. Ainsi, le récit du retour au foyer est quelque chose que j'avais abordé dans Inception et Interstellar, par exemple. Dans la trilogie sur « Batman, The Dark Knight », on retrouve aussi le thème du voyage du héros. C'est sa simplicité et son approche de la nature humaine qui permettent à chaque génération de l'interpréter d'une manière pertinente pour notre époque. C'est un grand récit d'aventures, avec des éléments fantastiques, des monstres, mais que vous rendez très réaliste. Le réalisme est un terme chargé au cinéma. Je voulais que le film ait néanmoins une texture réaliste pour que les spectateurs croient à l'histoire. Mais c'était un défi : comment aborder les éléments fantastiques ? Pour le cheval de Troie, j'ai réfléchi à la manière dont cela aurait pu fonctionner dans la vraie vie. Mon public et moi savons que le cheval est rempli de Grecs, donc il faut le « vendre » d'une certaine manière. Ma solution a été de me dire : s'il ressemble à un monument déchu, à moitié enterré dans le sable et sur le point d'être détruit par la mer, il ne ressemble pas à quelque chose conçu pour être transporté dans la ville. De même pour le Cyclope, en filmant dans une vraie grotte et en cherchant des solutions concrètes. Comme mon ami Guillermo del Toro l'a bien montré, un monstre n'est jamais juste un monstre. Mais si vous arrivez à exprimer ses émotions, vous commencez à y croire, il y a du poids et de la gravité, et c'est alors menaçant et effrayant parce que cela semble réel. Vous avez réalisé un film de science-fiction, Interstellar, des films de superhéros avec Batman, un film de guerre avec Dunkerque. Là vous vouliez investir un autre genre : le peplum ? J'avais pour référence de grands films épiques comme Lawrence d'Arabie, Gladiator ou Barry Lyndon. Mais il n'y avait pas eu de récit moderne de la mythologie grecque. Des réalisateurs comme Ray Harryhausen s'y sont attaqués, mais avec des budgets et des ressources de séries B. Avoir l'opportunité de faire cela pour la première fois avec une grande échelle, un budget et un casting importants, c'est une occasion unique pour un réalisateur. Pourquoi avoir choisi de tourner en pellicule IMAX ? Je veux tourner un film entièrement en pellicule IMAX depuis que j'ai environ 16 ans et que j'ai vu pour la première fois des documentaires dans des musées filmés en IMAX. La clarté de l'image, la couleur incroyable, l'absence de grain, l'écran large qui vous immerge d'une manière vraiment fondamentale, m'ont semblé immédiatement pertinents pour des superproductions hollywoodiennes. Mais ce sont des caméras massives et bruyantes. Pour ce projet, je suis allé chez IMAX et j'ai dit : « Pouvez-vous trouver un moyen de rendre les caméras silencieuses parce que je veux vraiment faire le film entier de cette façon ? » Ils ont conçu un boîtier high-tech dans lequel je pouvais mettre la caméra, un très grand boîtier, mais qui la rendait silencieuse. Mais il faut changer les bobines au bout de trois minutes. Donc, on a dit aux acteurs : « D'accord, vous allez avoir cette machine massive devant le visage et vous allez devoir vous arrêter au milieu d'une scène et suspendre votre émotion pendant que nous rechargeons la caméra aussi vite que possible, aussi discrètement que possible. » Si les acteurs n'avaient pas voulu le faire ou n'avaient pas trouvé que cela fonctionnait pour eux, nous l'aurions abordé différemment. Mais en fait, je pense qu'ils ont trouvé cela très excitant. Le niveau de concentration sur la performance avec ces restrictions était très intense. Si vous filmez sur un format numérique où vous pouvez filmer pendant des heures, vous pouvez obtenir du bon travail de tout le monde sur le plateau, mais ce sera à des moments différents. Tandis que lorsque vous faites tourner cette caméra et que tout le monde est concentré, sachant que vous avez ce temps limité et que tout doit se rejoindre à ce moment-là, chaque technicien donne le meilleur de lui-même et arrive à ce point de concentration intense. Chaque format que vous choisissez a des avantages et des inconvénients ; la clé est d'essayer de construire le scénario autour des avantages. Et qu'est-ce qui était le plus compliqué sur le tournage ? D'un point de vue physique, être sur des bateaux est toujours extrêmement difficile au cinéma, surtout sur un vaisseau antique reconstitué dans des eaux agitées. Mais certaines scènes calmes, des scènes dramatiques plus intenses, ont été pour moi de loin les plus difficiles à filmer. Il fallait faire en sorte que l'équipe de prise de vue comprenne comment déplacer la caméra comme n'importe quelle autre, alors qu'elle est 50 fois plus grande. Et puis que les acteurs puissent continuer à se concentrer en dépit des interruptions. Ça a été l'un des plus grands défis du film.

By way of Christopher Nolan, The Odyssey is hitting cinemas in July, an epic fantasy action bonanza based on Homer's Odyssey. Its use of scale and practical effects harken back to the movies and stories he grew up on, including this one, Jason and the Argonauts from 1963. Featuring groundbreaking effects from stopmotion and dynomation wizard Ray Harryhausen, he considers it the pinnacle of his work, with the giant bronze statue Talos, the seven headed Hydra and of course the skeleton battle sequence. Join us this week and the next two as we explore more of the inspirations behind The Odyssey and thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.SUBSCRIBE HERE ►► http://goo.gl/pQ39jNVideo Edition ►Help support the show and get early episodes ► https://bigsandwich.co/Patreon ► https://patreon.com/mrsundaymoviesJames' Twitter ► http://twitter.com/mrsundaymoviesMaso's Twitter ► http://twitter.com/wikipediabrownPatreon ► https://patreon.com/mrsundaymoviesT-Shirts/Merch ► https://www.teepublic.com/stores/mr-sunday-moviesThe Weekly Planet iTunes ► https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-weekly-planet/id718158767?mt=2&ign-mpt=uo%3D4The Weekly Planet Direct Download ► https://play.acast.com/s/theweeklyplanetAmazon Affiliate Link ► https://amzn.to/2nc12P4 Hosted on Acast.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! And happy birthday, Ray Harryhausen! And Nate and Elijah, too. Yes, they're back for their annual crossover, and this year in their reverse order coverage of Ray's filmography, they've reached an outlier: One Million Years B.C. (1967). While it has a cinematographer and director Ray had worked with, this wasn't produced by Charles H. Schneer or distributed by Columbia Pictures. No, this is a Hammer Film and a remake of a 1940 movie starring Lon Chaney Jr. It made Raquel Welch an overnight star and sex symbol (much to her chagrin).Not only is it one of the British studio's most successful films, it might be the most iconic dinosaur film predating Jurassic Park (see MIFV episode 79). Nate and Elijah get into all the nitty-gritty of this prehistoric epic—including the censored cuts made to the U.S. version—in this sensational celebration! For full show notes, including a bibliography of Nate's sources, check out this episode blog post on the MIFV website: https://monsterislandfilmvault.com/index.php/2026/06/29/monster-conversation-harryhausen-annual-5-one-million-years-b-c-mifv-x-kaiju-conversation/.  Additional Music: “Legends of Warcraft” by PSK “The Dark Ages” by Phil Rey Check out Nathan's spinoff podcasts, The Henshin Men and The Power Trip, and Henshin Power V3!

Lita (Hannah Fierman) is a dominatrix looking to get some cash on the side in The Demonatrix (2026) ★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★Intensity:

Hoy, remaker, te invitamos a acompañarnos en un viaje mítico, en una aventura sin igual, a través de parajes imposibles y situaciones increíbles. Si te apetece unirte a nuestra pequeña odisea, toma tu espada, tu yelmo y tu escudo, porque vamos a sumergirnos de lleno en una historia poblada por héroes griegos, monstruos legendarios y dioses demasiado humanos. Acompáñanos en esta titánica misión, mientras miramos cara a cara, sin temor alguno, tanto los aciertos como las debilidades de una película irrepetible, la última de una especie que estaba a punto de desaparecer. Nos enfrentaremos también al legado del maestro Ray Harryhausen, que se despedía del cine con este hermoso canto de cisne. Hablaremos de por qué Furia de Titanes (1981) continúa ocupando un lugar privilegiado en la memoria de toda una generación, analizaremos su trama, el papel de la mitología clásica, los símbolos que recorren la historia y los personajes que la protagonizan. Nos detendremos en los héroes del cine que la hicieron posible, así como, por supuesto, en las técnicas que se emplearon para dar vida a criaturas como Medusa, el Kraken, escorpiones gigantes, o a Calibos, entre otros. Desarrollaremos y compararemos los personajes y los mitos que encarnan los miembros del reparto, siendo en muchos casos actores y actrices tan míticos como las figuras que interpretan, y nos enfrentaremos a todo aquello que se le ha criticado y alabado a la película. No seas de piedra y vente con nosotros. En esta ocasión contamos con el equipo al completo. El pequeño y juguetón Javi García, que quizá no llegue a ser un semidiós, aunque semi-algo sí que es; nuestro fauno particular, el señor Óscar Cabrera, siempre dispuesto a perderse por los senderos del bosque y de la imaginación; y el Perseo de esta aventura, el hombre que conduce este navío sin sospechar que, en realidad, no es más que un humilde servidor de algo mucho más grande: el Olimpo de oyentes que gobierna nuestro destino.

In this episode, I chat with model maker Jim Davidson about his journey from a dinosaur-obsessed kid in the 1970s to working on some of the most memorable practical effects sequences in modern cinema. Jim talks about discovering the work of Ray Harryhausen, and how seeing Star Wars at the age of 12 made him realise that visual effects could be a real career. We get into how a chance meeting with future Oscar-winning art director Robert Stromberg led to his first break in the industry, and how that snowballed into working with the Skotak brothers on major productions. Jim shares detailed insights into the making of the nuclear nightmare sequence in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, including how the miniature buildings were constructed, destroyed, and reset using a combination of breakaway materials, air cannons and practical ingenuity. We also talk about his work on Batman Returns, the realities of working in small, tight-knit effects crews, and the creative problem-solving that defined that era of filmmaking. A big part of the conversation focuses on the industry shift following Jurassic Park, when CGI began to replace large-scale practical effects. Jim reflects on witnessing that transition first-hand, and why he chose not to move into digital work. There's also discussion of his later work, including returning to stop motion for Creepshow, bringing things full circle back to the techniques that first inspired him. It's a fascinating look at a very specific window in film history, from someone who was right in the middle of it.

Release the Kraken! This week on the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast, Tim Williams and guest co-host Chris McMichen journey back to 1981 to revisit the ultimate mythological masterpiece: Clash of the Titans.Before digital pixels took over, Ray Harryhausen's legendary stop-motion magic brought the gods of Olympus and the monsters of the Styx to life. We're diving deep into our earliest childhood memories of the Kraken, the terrifying (and surprisingly effective) Medusa sequence, and the mechanical owl that everyone—love him or hate him—remembers: Bubo.From the gravitas of Laurence Olivier to the groundbreaking practical effects that defined an era, we explore why this blend of Greek mythology and Hollywood royalty remains a timeless cult classic. We'll also talk about the vintage toy line, the film's massive box office impact, and where it lands on our Rewatchability and Nostalgia Meter today.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Clash of the Titans06:04 Rewatching and Nostalgia11:52 Cast and Characters16:54 Impact and Legacy23:07 Notable Performances and Behind the Scenes28:09 The Enforcer of Many Roles34:13 Trivia and Original Storyline39:20 The Clash of the Titans Sequel45:36 Rewatchability and Nostalgia Meter

(ADI) alongside Tom Woodruff Jr.Alec has spent more than four decades helping bring some of cinema's most memorable creatures to life. After beginning his career working under the legendary Stan Winston, he went on to contribute to films including Aliens, Predator, Alien³, Tremors, Death Becomes Her, Starship Troopers and many more.In this conversation we talk about how a childhood encounter with Ray Harryhausen's Jason and the Argonauts set him on this path, the early days building stop-motion creatures in his parents' garage, working for Roger Corman alongside a young James Cameron, and what it was like joining Stan Winston Studio during one of the most exciting periods in creature effects history.We also talk about the eight-week scramble to build the Predator, working with David Fincher on Alien³, forming ADI with Tom Woodruff Jr., and how practical creature effects continue to evolve in an industry now dominated by digital tools.This interview was recorded remotely, but I recently had the chance to visit Alec in Los Angeles while filming interviews for our upcoming Joe Alves documentary, where we spoke in person about his work on Jaws 3-D.Topics discussed• Discovering movie magic through Ray Harryhausen• Building stop-motion creatures as a kid• Learning the craft during the Roger Corman years• Meeting and working alongside James Cameron• Life inside Stan Winston Studio• Creating the Predator in just eight weeks• The production of Alien³ and working with David Fincher• Founding Amalgamated Dynamics Inc. with Tom Woodruff Jr.• Practical effects in the digital era• Mentoring the next generation of creature artistsSupport the PodcastIf you enjoy The Filmumentaries I hope you enjoy it.This podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.

Greek mythology has a way of cycling back. Every generation seems to take a turn with these stories, reshaping them to fit the tools and tastes of the moment. With a new version of The Odyssey directed by Christopher Nolan on the horizon, it feels like a good time to revisit a few earlier attempts. Not the definitive versions. Just four films that each capture a different moment in how the myths were staged.Jason and the ArgonautsDirected by Don Chaffey and brought to life by the stop motion work of Ray Harryhausen, this remains the standard for mythological adventure on film.The skeleton fight is still the showcase. Harryhausen animated seven sword fighting skeletons by hand, frame by frame, matching choreography that had already been filmed with live actors. It took months to complete just a few minutes of screen time. The patience shows. The movement has weight and timing that still feels precise.There is also Talos, the bronze giant, who creaks to life in a way that feels mechanical and ancient at the same time. No digital polish. Just careful craft. The film was not a major hit in 1963, but it built its reputation through television airings and revival screenings. Filmmakers like Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson have pointed to it as an influence.Clash of the TitansNearly twenty years later, Harryhausen returned for what would be his final feature. Released in 1981, the same summer as Raiders of the Lost Ark, it feels like a bridge between eras.Medusa is the standout. Instead of legs she has a serpentine body, and the sequence plays almost like a horror film, full of shadow and flickering light. Harryhausen again handled the creature effects himself, at a time when optical and early digital techniques were starting to change the industry.The cast gives the film a formal tone. Laurence Olivier plays Zeus and Maggie Smith appears as Thetis. There is also Bubo, the small mechanical owl added after the success of Star Wars. Even at the time some viewers were unsure about that addition. It says a lot about where fantasy films were headed in the early 1980s.HerculesDirected by Luigi Cozzi and starring Lou Ferrigno, this version of Hercules leans into spectacle in a way that is sometimes baffling and sometimes charming.Ferrigno had already been known for playing the Hulk on television, so casting him as Hercules made sense on a physical level. The film itself mixes Greek myth with science fiction imagery, including cosmic visuals and creatures that feel closer to Italian fantasy cinema than to Homer.It was part of a cycle of sword and sandal films in the early 1980s, many of them international co productions designed for global markets. The effects are uneven, but there is sincerity here. It commits to its vision without irony.The OdysseyDirected by Andrei Konchalovsky and starring Armand Assante, this two part television adaptation aired in 1997 as an event production.The format allows it to cover more of the journey than most feature films attempt. The Cyclops sequence and the Sirens episode stand out, helped by visual effects that were ambitious for network television at the time. The production won an Emmy for visual effects and reflects a brief period when large scale myth adaptations were being mounted for prime time audiences.Watching it now, you can see both its limits and its effort. It wants to treat the source material seriously, without reducing it to spectacle alone.Taken together, these films show how the same source material can shift with the era. Stop motion craft in the 1960s. Transitional fantasy in the early 1980s. International genre filmmaking. Large scale television in the 1990s.When Nolan releases his Odyssey, it will enter a long line of attempts to translate these myths into something contemporary. Revisiting these earlier versions is a way to see how each generation solved the same problem with different tools.They are worth tracking down. Not because they are perfect, but because each one reflects a moment when someone decided these ancient stories were still worth staging carefully.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

Things get spirited in our discussion of this 1981 fantasy film produced by Ray Harryhausen. We talk about its short-comings, the legacy of Harryhausen, the music, the special effects and more. Does this film suffer from being a product of its time? You may hear the answer in our last episode for "Fantastically Dark" month.

For the first Movie Monday of 2026, we watched dark fantasy action comedy The Golden Child from 1986. Directed by Michael Ritchie and starring Eddie Murphy, Charlotte Lewis, Charles Dance, and Victor Wong.

This week we look back at the 2010's Clash of the Titans, starring Sam Worthington, Ralph Fiennes, and Liam Neeson. This contentious remake of the 1981 Ray Harryhausen classic sparked a lot of debate upon release with fans of the original film, but found its own audience with a younger generation that grew up playing God of War games on Playstation. Join us as we discuss film and let us know what you think in the comments below.https://www.spreaker.com/episode/clash-of-the-titans-2010--69571657#clashofthetitans #2010 #action #Greek #mythology #perseus #samworthington #avatar #ralphfiennes #hewhomustnotbenamed #harrypotter #liamneeson #quigonjinn #starwars #kraken #releasethekraken #kratos #godofwar #medusa #playstation 

In 2010 two things were big. 3D films and Sam Worthington, both a result of Avatar from 2009. And whilst that franchise continues on Clash of the Titans (which incorporates both) acts as a time capsule of that era of film making. Also acting as a reboot of the 1981 Ray Harryhausen original movie it pits Perseus, the son of Liam Neeson's Zeus, against the Gods of Olympus including Ralph Finnes Hades who is threatening to release the Kraken on the ever increasingly disgruntled mortals of Greece.

100 años, todo un siglo de vida, son los que acaba de cumplir Dick Van Dyke, el entrañable actor de películas como “Mary Poppins” o “Chitti Chitti Bang-Bang” y un clásico también de la televisión estadounidense gracias a series como “El show de Dick Van Dyke” o “Diagnóstico asesinato”. Celebramos este cumpleaños tan redondo repasando su carrera y contándoos como vive el bueno de Dick en la actualidad. Y no un siglo pero sí medio cumple también “Barry Lyndon”, la película de Stanley Kubrick que probablemente genera más división de opiniones. Os lo contamos todo sobre ella. Hemos charlado con el actor Javier Veiga que acaba de estrenar su segunda película como d irector, “Playa de lobos”, y en la sección de cine de aventuras tenemos una película de mitología griega, “Jasón y los Argonautas”, con el sello inconfundible del mago de la stop-motion Ray Harryhausen.

Series premiere! This week we leave The Shire behind to embark on our journey through Middle Earth and the epic fantasy genre!In the spirit of Lord of the Rings, we've divided our miniseries into three parts, and we're starting today with Part 1: The Road to Mordor. And that road begins with, you guessed it, Ray Harryhausen!Peter Jackson's trilogy would not exist without the sword-and-sandals stop-motion action of Harryhausen – so as we voyage towards Mordor, we must first trek the scorching sands of Ancient Greece, where harpies fly, gigantic statues terrorize, and gods try to kill us out of boredom! Oh, and spooky skeletons.Next week, we spend some time with a different type kind of Hobbit in Rankin and Bass's animated THE HOBBIT.

The filmmaker most in tune with Brian and Steve's sensibilities, Steven Kostanski, has a new film. This time he's remade a sword and sorcery from the 80s, Deathstalker. And while the film is an homage to those films, it's also tribute to all the others like Conan, Masters of the Universe, The Beastmaster, and even Ray Harryhausen films. All retold through the lens of 90s kid who loved the Power Rangers. Plus host Steve poorly remembers a music cue from the Mortal Kombat movie as a from a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.   Find Us Online- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halloweenisforever/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/halloweenisforever Twitter: https://twitter.com/HallowForever Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halloweenisforeverpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HalloweenIsForeverPod E-Mail: Halloweenisforeverpod@gmail.com
